That's not going to happen, Chicken Little
Unfortunately, many USAID-funded global health activities remain rooted in patterns that began decades ago and measure improvements in terms of inputsāmoney spentāinstead of outcomes achieved. From the 1950s to 1970s, the major recognized threats to human health were infectious diseases such as polio and smallpox, and USAID funded programs āinā a country, not āwithā a country. Maternal and child health, food, water, and sanitation programs were often intermittent. USAID consistently financed population control, contraception, and abortion as essential to ādevelopment.ā Most programs focused on one disease or condition but had little integration with other global health activities. Chronic diseases were ignored.Consequently, the next conservative Administration should focus on updating the Global Health Bureauās portfolio, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to supporting women, children, and families; building host-country institutional capacity; increasing awards to local and faith-based partners (expanding what occurred during the Trump Administration with the NPI); and improving USAIDās ability to coordinate with local partners
